DEE JAY’S CORNER...

WMCA is the station you tune to by choice, not by chance... and your
choices make up the musical pattern of this easy listening spot on
the dial at 570! The millions of listeners in the Metropolitan area
represent a wide variety of preferences... and though there appears
to be a trend toward more country-western and Dixie type melodies,
what you all will like in ’58 is anybody’s guess! But in any event,
you’ll get the best -- and hear them first -- when you tune to WMCA!
